To aZZwwm-it may concer/a2 Be it known that I, JOHN B. KoHLnR, .a citizen of the United States, and a residentofthe city of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Faucet Appliance; and I 'do hereby-1declare that the following is a full, clear,l and exactdescription Iofthe same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,.and to the numerals of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this'speciication.

This invention relates to a faucet appliance that is adapted to connect both `the hot and cold water pipes or faucets thereof.

It is an object of this invention to provide a cheap and simple'structure that can be readily adjusted for different distances.

between the hot and cold water pipes, or any pipes that it is desired to connect to a single faucet.

With these and other objects in view which will become more apparent in the following description and disclosure, this invention comprises the novel mechanism and combinations hereinafter described more particularly pointed out and defined in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings which illustrate a preferred embodiment of this invention and in which similar reference numerals refer to similar features in the different views:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of the faucet appliance.

Figure 2 is an end elevation thereof.

Figure 3 is a section throughv the faucet appliancel on substantially line 3-3 of Figure 4 upon an enlarged scale.

Figure 4 is a section substantially on the line 1-1 of Figure 1 upon an enlarged scale. y o

Figure 5 is a section onv the line 5:-5 of Figure 3 upon an enlarged scale.

Figure 6 isa fragmentary plan view of a feature of construction. upon van enlarged scale. v

Figure 7 is a fragmentary sectional view upon anenlarged scale illustrating .the con-- nection of the therefor.

In referring now to the drawings, which illustrate an embodiment of this invention, the reference numeral 1 represents the de- .faucet appliance to a faucet livery pipe VVof the faucet appliance which is. `prov1ded with extensible ends comprising( ltion .between and . through the nozzle.

thereover, the inner4 ends of-which1maybe slightly'split if desired as' shown lin `Figure pipe `members 2 which f slidingly telesctopef screw-threaded fuponth'einner beveledends of the pipes 2 and areada-pted 'tof'bind the pipe members 2 in-a-"djustedposition'. iEach 'extensible pipe member-is preferably prog' '-videdg'withfaf sl'otif ini'which 'the'` head -of-a PinyJ slidnglyts 15,0 prevent relative :rotabers 2.1' a

the vpipe liand ektensionniemerably securedcentrally of the Adelivery pipe 1 and comprises ,a dome-shaped member'G closed at its upper end and provided with alined .apertures through which tliepipe 1 passes.

A nozzle member y7 is'screw-threadv ed upon the lower end of the dome-shaped member and provided with .a reduced por 2' tion upon which a sleeve `member 8 is'welded or brazed.

A cap vmember `9m.is4 screw-.- threaded upon the sleeve member for ythe purpose of confining a filter 10 acrossthedischarge end yof the nozzle member in order to strain and lfilter the water` passing The pipe 1 is provided with an aperture in the dome-shaped member as shown in `Figure 4 whereby the water escapes fromthe 'deliveryfpipe 1 vto the nozzle. o y

The ends of the extension members' 2 are adapted to be secured' to hot and cold water faucets: And for this purp'ose there are provided a pair of thimble-shaped connecting members .11, onev for each endof the faucet y appliance. Suitable apertures are provided in the sides ofthese thimble'members 'l for receiving the ends of ytheeiitension members 2. o A sleeve member k12 having ahorizontal annular flange is secured inthe upper end.'

of each thimble member *for supporting a screen or filter 13`that is .adapted ,for

extending across the nozzle of the faucet 15. j These thimble members are preferably'madek in two parts, thelower or closed partflla` being screw-threaded upon the upper parti whereby the lower'part 11?.may be removed for cleaning the same'from sediment or the Vlike that may collect therein.

In the present instance,y the thimble "1 Y members are 4illustrated as connected to the hot and cold water faucets 1.41 and 15 by; having the same telescopeover the nozzles --f thereof and the extension pipes 2 are .prof` y vided with beveled or cut avvay ends so that the hot and cold Water may more readily enter the same.

This faucet appliance is frequently desirable for connecting separate hot and cold Water faucets in order to more readily regulate the desired temperature of Water desired, and as the same is made extensible, it can readily be applied to various hot and cold Water systems.

I am aware that numerous details of construction may be varied through a Wide range Without departing from the principles of this invention, and ,I therefore do not purpose limiting the patent granted otherwise than necessitated by the prior art.

I claim as my invention:

l. In a faucetappliance, a delivery pipe provided with a nozzle, a pair of pipes adjustably telescoping over the ends of the delivery pipe, and a pair of sectional thimble members connected respectively to the ends of said adjustable pipes, the lower closed ends of said thimble members being removable and the upper ends being adaptable for connection to faucets.

2. In a faucet appliance, a delivery pipe, a nozzle having a dome-shaped head through Which said pipe passes, a pair of rectilinear extension pipes adjustably telescoping` over the ends of said delivery pipe, and sectional thinible members attachedto the ends of said extension pipes, the lower closed ends of said thimble members being removable and the upper ends being adapted for attachment to faucets.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. y f

JOHN B. KOHLER.
